MacBook fans should get ready for a shock. Apple is planning to finally add something Windows laptop users have loved for over a decade.

A new product timeline by research firm Omdia suggests that Apple intends to do away with the controversial notch cutout that has graced the MacBook Pro

If this report turns out to be true, Apple will switch from a notch to a hole-punch cutout when the MacBook Pro switches from mini-LED to OLED in 2026 or 2027. This would increase the usable screen size of the MacBook Pro’s display. As MacRumors points out, it would also prevent the notch from cutting off the menu bar in macOS like it does today.

MacBook Pro M4 delivers where it counts—impressive performance, improved connectivity, and fantastic battery life—all at a better value.

Omdia’s roadmap suggests that Apple aims to land the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED displays between 2026 and 2027. The company will reportedly use the hybrid OLED display tech that we saw on the iPad Pro this year. It’s worth noting that this report is in line with reports from early 2024.

At the top end of the spectrum, Amazon is offering a jaw-dropping deal on the 14.2-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro model with 24GB RAM and a capacious 1TB SSD. For Black Friday only, Amazon has knocked the price down to $2,099 from its original $2,399. This configuration is a powerhouse and it is capable of handling the most demanding tasks with ease.

Apple reportedly intends to replace the MacBook Pro's camera notch with a pin-hole camera. The move is said to be happening in 2026, alongside a switch to OLED displays. Love it or hate it, you can't miss it – the MacBook Pro's notch,
